Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 666: Chapter 666: Happiness

Days passed by, and the weather gradually became cooler.

Probably because of the spiritual spring water, Lin Chuxia’s milk supply was very good, making it easy to soothe little Qi Qi after eating and drinking.

Usually, she spent most of her time sleeping, even starting to sleep through the night.

Zhuang Jingshu looked at the little one sleeping soundly on the bed and sighed, “Just like when you were little, clearly a thoughtful little girl.”

Although Lin Chuxia was placed in the care of Old Madam Lin shortly after birth and didn’t finish her confinement, she was indeed easy to care for back then.

She always remembered that tiny little person.

……

The first thing Qin Yang did when he returned from work was to check on his daughter.

These days, his daughter’s little face was soft and white, her hair dark, and her limbs looked like little lotus roots. Whenever she saw her dad, she would smile widely, making him never tire of looking at her.

Perhaps sensing her father’s presence, Qi Qi moved her small arms and sleepily opened her eyes.

While other children might cry out when they wake, Qi Qi would first blink her big eyes to observe her surroundings, only crying out to signal when she couldn’t see anyone.

Upon seeing her father, there was no need to signal anymore; she waved her little arms to greet him.

Qin Yang swiftly picked her up, squatted by the chamber pot to help his daughter with her business, wiped her dry with soft cotton cloth, and wrapped her in a diaper before laying her back down.

The little one thoroughly enjoyed her father’s thoughtful service, laying there babbling in baby talk with her mouth puckered.

At this moment, Qin Yang babbled back at his daughter in nonsensical words, a stark contrast to the cool and aloof Deputy Minister Qin others saw.

Sometimes Lin Chuxia would look at this Qin Yang and find it hard to recall how he used to be when she first saw him.

Noticing his wife’s gaze, Qin Yang smiled and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Lin Chuxia brought the sun-dried diapers to the bedside and folded them one by one.

“I’m planning to visit the mall and the garment factory.”

The garment factory had been running smoothly for several months, initially consulting her on important matters only.

Since the baby was born, Wang Tianxue had taken over everything to let her focus on postpartum recovery.

Zhuang Jingshu even assigned Zhuang Yang to the garment factory to work with Wang Tianxue and Jia Liang on the factory matters.

Zhuang Jingshu’s purpose was simpler; Lin Chuxia shouldn’t strain herself postpartum.

Back then, she fell ill due to not having proper postpartum care, and she wouldn’t let her daughter suffer the same pain.

Even after the confinement, Lin Chuxia wasn’t allowed to worry about these matters; she had to have a full two months of rest.

Lin Chuxia knew that Zhuang Jingshu was doing this for her good, and with Zhuang Yang’s overseas management experience, along with Wang Tianxue and Jia Liang, she truly had no worries.

Now, having completed two full months of recovery, and with the garment factory on track, she felt she had to make an appearance as the boss.

Besides, it was important for her to personally witness the results of her factory.

Qin Yang knew she’d been itching to go, but hesitated, “What about Qi Qi? Can Mom handle it alone? Should I take a day off?”

“No need, I talked to Mom, and she said it’s no problem. The formula milk brother bought is something Qi Qi really likes, so she can drink that when she’s hungry.”

“Mom’s really been a huge help,” Qin Yang genuinely marveled, “Xiaxia, let’s spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here. I’ve already talked to the family; Qi Qi is still small, no need to fuss with travel.”

Lin Chuxia smiled, “Okay, then we’ll celebrate here.”

Now that Qi Qi was over two months old and they had a car, going back to their hometown for Mid-Autumn Festival was only a little over an hour’s drive—hardly a fuss.

Qin Yang was just being considerate of her and her birth mother.

“Xiaxia, actually I’m very grateful to Mom and brother, not just because they help us with Qi Qi.”

“I know, I also feel very lucky.”

Lin Chuxia glanced at Zhuang Jingshu, who was in the yard feeding Yuan Bao.

In the past two months, she truly felt her mother’s care and love—an irreplaceable emotion.

She was fortunate to have met Qin Yang, to have met the Qin Family and her mentor, and now she had both her mother and brother, and a child.

She was truly very happy.

……………

Knowing that Lin Chuxia was coming to the garment factory for an inspection, Wang Tianxue waited at the gate early.

Seeing the familiar Jeep from afar, she waved at it excitedly.

“Chuxia, finally you’re here. How have you been? You look like you’ve recovered well.”

Lin Chuxia hadn’t seen Wang Tianxue in a while, and upon seeing her, she felt a surge of guilt.

“I’ve recovered well, how about you? Didn’t I tell you to delegate tasks and not handle everything by yourself?”

It hadn’t been long, but she’d clearly lost weight and her skin had gotten darker.

But her energy seemed fine.

Wang Tianxue nonchalantly swept her hair, her short hair slipping out from behind her ear, exuding a spirited air.

“This garment factory, although Walson invested, is the result of our combined efforts. You were on maternity leave, so I have to keep a close eye on things. We can’t let all our hard work go to waste. Oh, where’s your child? It’s been so long since I saw Qi Qi; how’s the little girl doing?”

Mentioning her daughter, Lin Chuxia’s face softened, “She’s doing well, eating and sleeping well. My mom is watching her now.”

Wang Tianxue knew that the “mom” Lin Chuxia referred to was Zhuang Jingshu, not Mother Lin.

She sighed, “It’s true what they say about blood being thicker than water. I once felt sorry for you, knowing your family situation back then. It seemed like despite having everything, you’d face drawbacks. Qin Yang and the Qin Family were perfect, and you were diligent, yet stuck with a biased mother—who knew there was such a story behind it.”

“I never would have thought either.”

Lin Chuxia never expected Mother Lin’s bias to stem from this.

In the past life, nothing was mentioned about her not being a Lin Family member even until death.

Wang Tianxue glanced at her, seeing her calm demeanor, and continued, “Honestly, I’m really happy for you. Even though you distanced yourself from the Lin Family, you gained a mother who loves you. I haven’t interacted much with Ms. Zhuang, but it’s evident that she sincerely cares for you.”

Lin Chuxia nodded.

She observed everything that Zhuang Jingshu did over the past two months, particularly understanding her more after becoming a mother herself.

Wang Tianxue sat in the passenger seat, pointing at the large letters above the gate, “How does it look? Quite stately, isn’t it?”

The golden letters shone brightly in the sun.

When Qin’s Buns Shop opened, the letters were inscribed with the help of Granny Su.

Later, when Su Wensong became the director of Xiyang Food Factory, Granny Su also helped with its lettering.
